Maon

Ma’on (habitation), one of the cities of the tribe of Judah, in the district of the mountains. Josh. 15:55. Its interest for us lies in its connection with David. 1 Sam. 23:24, 25. The name of Maon still exists in Maı̂n, a lofty conical hill, south of and about seven miles distant from Hebron.
